Why we cant use 64GB sdcard? - Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey, im wondering why at the Xplay specs is "Space: 8GB - 32GB max".. 32 and 64GB cards are same seriously, i mean not by spave but how its big. Why we cant use 64GB sdcards, or we can? Im thinking about buying it but no idea if it will work.

If the card is formatted as FAT32, you shouldn't have any problems with it.

The 32GB cards are SDHC, 64GB+ cards are SDXC. It's a different format so 32GB and 64GB cards are not the same. The Xperia Play officially supports SDHC so that is why the specs say that it is up to 32GB. Saying that a lot of SDHC devices (especially later ones) are compatible with the SDXC format. I haven't tried it myself but I've seen plenty of other people saying that 64GB cards are working with their Xperia Play so you should be fine.

the reason why is, i have brought a 32GB in the past as mentioned and it didn't work so that was money wasted then i went for the class 4 same as the 8GB that came with the phone and it worked.

In another thread Nemokun said his Sandisk 64GB card worked. I imagine it's the ultra version but you could drop him a PM and ask him.

No.. that's how much they all have out of 16GB that you can use.

It's formatted to be less, and about 1-2 GB is reserved for the system.
But phone says total storage is 12. Kinda dumb

Because the total storage you can use is 12GB. If you want to see 16GB somewhere go look at the box.

San disk is just fine. You can get one on amazon for under 20. If you do a lot of podcasting I would suggest getting the apps2sd hack in development.

san disk is fine. dont even bother with the premium lines, as they are more geared towards cameras. Also I read a few reviews on them in regards to using them for android phones (sgs3 was part of test) and they stated they saw no real optimal improvement compared to the average black san disk micro sds you can buy..
Find one on ebay, preferably in the US and not China, Ive seen 32gb go for like $12 free shipping, sometimes cheaper!

Class 10 micro SD cards?

Also, i made a second partition with link2sd on my SD card. How would i transfer that over onto a new SD card?

1 year ago, class 10 cards performed worse in random access (mostly used for apps and games), but apparently the newer class 10 cards perform just as well or even better than lower class cards. So I would suggest getting a SanDisk class 10 card, they are currently considered being one of the best.
Yeah, i ordered a class 10 high speed SanDisk SDXC card and was just wondering. Thanks for that answer though. Quite helpful. Just need an answer to the second question now

Hey KindaUndisputed,
If you're interested in seeing which SD card will perform better for you, you should test it with CrystalDiskMark 3. It's really easy to use and you'll mostly be interested in looking at the small byte ranged 4K random read/write speeds. This is important for running ROMs from SD or games and things.
I've noticed that my SanDisk 32GB Class 4 and Samsung 32GB Class 10 are pretty similar, so it's kind of just the luck of it I guess. SanDisk is usually pretty reliable though.
Thanks for that response, will probably try that, I although I think I'll be sticking with the 64GB anyways as I need the extra storage.

Oh yeah absolutely. Just if you wanted to test the speeds of some other cards in comparison to the Mobile Ultra. I'd have to think that that 64GB card would have superior speeds in every category though.
Yeah, thanks again
Sent from my R800i using xda app-developers app
All of this talk about class 10 cards having bad random access speeds was valid a year ago, not any more. Times change and with it so does technology. A decent class 10 card nowadays doesn't have these problems.

I will have a look, i can't seem to find any class 4 SD's at 64GB, only 6, 10 but i have had problems with a 32GB SD class 6 card before.
that's the UK as i'm from the united kingdom, it probably be worth going for a class 10? ultra or mobile ultra? is there any difference?

I'm from the UK, that's the one (the first one) I bought, from Amazon as well. It's quite cheap really. I don't know about drastic changes in speed but I don't think there are many cheaper 64GB micro SD cards anyways?

At that rate, you might as well wait for the Note III. It's technology, a few months after you buy it, something newer and cooler is out. There's already rumor threads forming about a new Exynos 5 phone.
But yeah, more expandable memory is better. Especially if you want to keep FLAC files on your phone.
But still can't install apps on the cards and these games are now larger than 2 gig.
